Appetizers. Insights. A Cold One (or Two)
Tech Talks: Apps & Ale brings real-world IT conversations into a relaxed setting. We’ll serve appetizers and drinks while diving into a focused discussion on one of today’s fastest-moving technology topics: AI adoption and the security challenges that come with it. As employees use public AI tools, AI capabilities appear inside everyday business applications, developers adopt coding assistants, and AI assistants and agents begin automating work, organizations need a better understanding of how to embrace AI securely.
Expect a short presentation, meaningful discussion, and time to connect with peers.
AI Security 101: Govern AI Without Slowing Innovation
AI adoption is accelerating across every industry, but security has not kept pace. Traditional security architectures were designed to control access to applications and destinations. AI introduces a fundamentally different challenge: understanding intent, behavior, and actions occurring inside AI interactions.
In this introductory session, we’ll cover:
- Why AI requires a new approach to security and control
- What good AI governance look like going into 2027
- How security teams can put effective guardrails around AI without slowing down innovation
- A practical framework for evaluating AI security solutions
The goal is to provide a clear understanding of the challenges AI introduces, what organizations should be doing to govern AI usage, and how to build a foundation for secure AI adoption while continuing to move innovation forward.
